Description

  The present invention relates to a suitcase in which a protective projection is provided on the outer surface.

Suitcases with protective projections on the outer surface are preferably used. Since the outer surface is separated from the floor and the adjacent suitcase by the height of the protective projection, there is an advantage that the outer surface of the suitcase is hardly damaged.
Various structures for effectively using the protective protrusion have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 1)).

As shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, the suitcase (1) (the numbers in parentheses indicate the reference numerals described in Patent Document 1. The same applies hereinafter) has the pedestal (11) corresponding to the protective protrusion. I have. The pedestal (11) includes a hook function part (12). The hook function part (12) is a U-groove that opens upward in use.
Since it is a U-groove, an accessory bag (P) can be hooked. Since the pedestal (11) exhibits a hook function in addition to the protective function, the added value is increased.

By the way, the suitcase (1) is provided with a caster (8). If the caster (8) runs on the floor, even a large suitcase can be moved easily.
During this movement, there may be cases where a step on the floor or a curb on the road is exceeded. At this time, the suitcase (1) moves up and down. Then, the accessory bag (P) may come off from the U-shaped hook function part (12).

It is possible to cope to some extent by making the U groove deeper, but if the U groove is made deeper, the strength of the pedestal (11) is lowered and the original protective function is affected. Therefore, the U groove in Patent Document 1 is relatively shallow.
As the use cases of the suitcase (1) are diversified, a structure that can strengthen the hook function while maintaining the protective function is required.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The invention according to claim 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11, and the invention according to claim 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the suitcase 10 is a large box-shaped bag, and includes protective protrusions 11 and 11 on the outer surface 16. A side handle 12 and fastener sliders 13 and 13 are provided on the surface opposite to the surface on which the protective projections 11 and 11 are attached.
One protective protrusion 11 is a normal protrusion 15 and the other protective protrusion 11 is an annular protrusion 40 of the present invention.

  By providing the protective projections 11, 11, the outer surface 16 of the suitcase 10 does not come into contact with the floor 17, so that no damage caused by the floor 17 occurs on the outer surface 16. Further, even when a plurality of suitcases 10 are stacked, damage due to contact does not occur on the outer surface 16.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the suitcase 10 is a box-shaped bag made up of a case main body 18 and a lid 19 that closes an opening of the case main body 18, and includes a bottom surface 22 provided with casters 21, 22 is a hexahedron having an upper surface 23 that is parallel to 22 and is farthest from the caster 21 and four side surfaces 24 to 27 sandwiched between the upper surface 23 and the bottom surface 22.

  In FIG. 1, the four side surfaces 24 to 27 include a first side surface 24, a second side surface 25, and a third side surface 26 and a fourth side surface 27 that are surfaces opposite to the second side surface 25. A side handle 12 and sliders 13 and 13 are provided on the first side 24, and protective projections 11 and 11 are provided on the fourth side 27.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a carry handle 28 and an upper handle 29 that can be pulled out are provided on the upper surface 23, and four protective projections 11 are provided on the fourth side surface 27. Of the four protective protrusions 11, normal protrusions 15 and 15 are provided at positions close to the casters 21, and annular protrusions 40 and 40 are provided at positions far from the casters 21.

  An annular string 32 of the accessory bag 31 is hooked on the annular protrusion 40. Since the annular protrusion 40 is sufficiently separated from the caster 21, there is no concern that the bottom of the accessory bag 31 touches the floor 17. The accessory bag 31 may be of any type as long as it is a bag for storing accessories such as bags, handbags, shopping bags, and plastic bags. The ring string 32 may be of any type as long as it is an inverted U-shaped or ○ -shaped hand-held portion extending from the top of the accessory bag 31.

Although the structure of the annular protrusion 40 will be described later, since the structure of the annular protrusion 40 is complicated, it is more expensive than the ordinary protrusion 15. A through hole 33 is formed in the normal protrusion 15. Although the shape of the through hole 33 is substantially D-ring, it is not limited to this, and a simple ring shape may be used. By forming the through-hole 33 in the normal protrusion 15, an object can be hung using a carabiner or a string. In the embodiment, the through hole 33 is formed in the normal protrusion 15, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the normal protrusion 15 in which the through hole 33 is not formed may be used.
In FIG. 2, the upper two protrusions are the annular protrusions 40, but one and the annular protrusion 40 may be used, and the other one may be the normal protrusion 15. That is, in the suitcase 10 provided with the plurality of protective protrusions 11, at least one of the annular protrusions 40 may be used. This is because the manufacturing cost of the suitcase 10 can be reduced as the number is smaller.

Further, the case main body 18 and the lid 19 and the protective projection 11 may be the same color or different colors. In the case of a different color, it becomes colorful, and a feature can be given to the design of the suitcase 10.
In this case, the normal protrusion 15 and the annular protrusion 40 may have the same color or different colors. If the color is different, it becomes more colorful.

  Similar suitcases 10 are lined up on the airport turntables. In general, a tag or cloth (handkerchief or scarf) is attached as a mark, but the distinctiveness is enhanced by using different colors as described above. That is, by using different colors, the normal protrusion 15 and / or the annular protrusion 40 become a mark, and a tag or cloth becomes unnecessary.

Next, a preferred structure of the annular protrusion 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 4, the annular protrusion 40 is housed in a base member 41, a ring forming member 43 whose one end 43 a is fixed to the base member 41 via a pin 42, and the other end 43 b of the ring forming member 43. A knock member 45 and a spring 46.

  The base member 41 includes a flat plate portion 47, a first column portion 48 extending upward from one end of the flat plate portion 47, a support portion 51 with a pin hole 49 integrally formed on the upper portion of the first column portion 48, a flat plate A second pillar portion 52 extending upward from the other end of the portion 47 and a support portion 54 with a lock hole 53 integrally formed on the upper portion of the second pillar portion 52 are provided.

  The ring forming member 43 is a rod-shaped member having a pin hole 55 at one end 43a and having a long hole-shaped guide hole 56 in the middle of the side surface. The guide holes 56 are preferably provided on both side surfaces, but may be provided only on one side surface.

  The knock member 45 includes a rod-shaped portion 58 that is slidably fitted to the ring forming member 43, a finger hook portion 59 formed on the front surface of the rod-shaped portion 58, a rod portion 61 that extends from the back surface of the rod-shaped portion 58, and a rod-shaped portion 58. And a guide protrusion 62 that extends from the side surface and fits into the guide hole 56. The lower portion of the rod-like portion 58 is locally cut out, and a lock claw 64 that fits into the lock hole 53 is provided in the cut-out portion 63.

  When these are assembled, the annular protrusion 40 shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. A part of the knock member 45 protrudes from the other end 43 b of the ring forming member 43. Further, the width of the other end 43 b of the ring forming member 43 is the same as or smaller than the width of the upper portion of the second column part 52. As a result, even if a downward external force is applied to the ring forming member 43, the ring forming member 43 is supported by the second column portion 52, and further swinging is prevented.

As shown in FIG. 5, the base member 41 is fixed to the case main body 18 or the lid body 19 with screws 65 and 65. The ring forming member 43 includes a storage groove 66 for movably storing the knock member 45 on the other end 43b side, and a rod storage portion 67 for movably storing the rod portion 61 on the one end 43a side.
A ring 68 is formed by the base member 41 and the ring forming member 43, and a ring strap (FIG. 6, reference numeral 32) of a small bag is stored in the ring 68. Since the lock claw 64 is fitted in the lock hole 53, there is no fear that the loop cord (FIG. 6, reference numeral 32) is detached from the ring 68.

When the finger hook portion 59 is artificially pressed, the spring 46 is compressed and the rod portion 61 enters the rod storage portion 67. In addition, the guide protrusion 62 is guided by a guide hole (FIG. 4, reference numeral 56). Since the rod portion 61 and the guide projection 62 are guided, there is no fear that the knock member 45 is detached from the ring forming member 43.
Since the finger hook portion 59 is pushed, the lock claw 64 is detached from the lock hole 53. Next, the ring forming member 43 is swung (raised in the figure) around the pin 42.

FIG. 6 is an operation diagram of FIG. 5. The same elements as those of FIG. 6 is in the same direction as FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, the ring 68 was opened. As a result, the loop cord 32 can be detached from the annular protrusion 40 as indicated by the arrow (1). Alternatively, the loop cord 32 can be inserted into the annular protrusion 40 from the outside as indicated by the arrow (2). Thereafter, the lock claw 64 may be fitted into the lock hole 53 while pushing the knock member 45. This is as shown in FIG.

Some suitcases 10 include the casters 21 shown in FIG. 2 and some do not include the casters 21.
Even if the suitcase 10 does not include the casters 21, the ring string 32 can be hooked on the annular protrusion 40.
Therefore, in principle, the annular protrusion 40 of the present invention is attached to the suitcase 10 including the casters 21, but the annular protrusion 40 of the present invention is not attached to the suitcase 10 not including the casters 21.

Next, a modified example of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, when a plurality of (four in this example) protection protrusions 11 are provided on the fourth side surface 27, all of the four protrusions may be annular protrusions 40. A ring string 32 of a dog reed 69 can be hung on the annular protrusion 40 closer to the caster 21. Or, in the case of a group trip, the suitcases of friends may be tied with a string. The string ring 32 can be hung on the annular protrusion 40 closer to the caster 21. Therefore, the use of the annular protrusion 40 is not limited to the use for hooking the accessory bag 31.

As shown in FIG. 8, the shape of the annular protrusion 40 can be changed as appropriate.
That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, the base member 41 and the ring forming member 43 may be rectangular.
As shown in FIG. 8B, the knock member 45 may be rounded after the base member 41 and the ring forming member 43 are rectangular.
As shown in FIG. 8C, the corners of the base member 41 may be rounded.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 8D, the base member 41 may be oval.

As shown in FIG. 9, the protective protrusion 11 may be provided on the third side surface 26 (and / or the second side surface 25). When a plurality of suitcases 10 are stacked, the side surfaces 25 and 26 can be prevented from being damaged.
Alternatively, the protective protrusion 11 may be provided on the first side surface 24 as shown in FIG. In this case, the side handle 12 and the slider 13 can be protected by the protective protrusion 11.

  Therefore, in FIG. 9, the protective projection 11 can be provided on any of the four side surfaces 24 to 27. However, the protective protrusion 11 includes at least one annular protrusion 40.

Next, a further modification of the annular protrusion 40 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11A, a first tapered surface 71 is formed at the tip of the lock claw 64. Then, a second tapered surface 72 corresponding to the first tapered surface 71 is formed on the support portion 54.
The knock member 45 is urged away from the pin 42 by the spring 46, but the position of the guide protrusion 62 is restricted by the guide hole (reference numeral 26 in FIG. 3). The first and second taper surfaces 71 and 72 are formed so that the first taper surface 71 and the second taper surface 72 locally overlap in a state where the position is restricted.

The other end 43b of the ring forming member 43 is pushed without touching the knock member 45 (arrow (3)). Then, due to the taper action of the first and second tapered surfaces 71 and 72, the knock member 45 moves to the side where the spring 46 is compressed. When the movement (arrow (3)) is continued, the lock claw 64 fits into the lock hole 53.
As a result, the form shown in FIG. In FIG. 11B, the knock member 45 can be artificially moved (arrow (4)) to obtain FIG. 11A.

Next, a further modified example of the annular protrusion 40 will be described based on FIG.
As shown in FIG. 12A, the knock member 45 may be provided on the base member 41. The base member 41 has a rod shape, and the ring forming member 43 has a C shape.
When the knock member 45 is artificially pressed in FIG. 12B, the lock claw 64 is detached from the lock hole 53 and the ring forming member 43 is swung around the pin 42 as shown in FIG. Can be made.

As is clear from FIGS. 11 and 12, the knock member 45 may be provided on either the base member 41 or the ring forming member 43.
However, in the structure of FIG. 12, since the knock member 45 is provided on the base member 41, the structure of the ring forming member 43 is simplified and lightened. On the other hand, the knock member 45 is disposed at the back, and the operation of the knock member 45 is somewhat difficult.
In this regard, with the structure of FIG. 11, the knock member 45 is provided on the ring forming member 43 and the knock member 45 is disposed on the front side, so that the operation becomes easy.

  In addition, the suitcase 10 may be an attache case or a normal hard case in addition to a travel suitcase, and the size and use are arbitrary.

  The present invention is suitable for a suitcase having a protective projection.
